NEW HERMENEUTICS

Vol 9 – In Case You Don’t Know (The Circus Tent CT 5700) 1977?

More folky acoustic versions of Jesus music standards, including covers of Mustard Seed Faith (‘Sail On Sailor’), Lamb (‘The Sacriﬁce Lamb’), Honeytree, Keaggy (‘Here I Am Lovely Jesus’) and The Way (‘If You Will Believe’). They also toss in some songs by Dallas Holm (‘Hey I’m A Believer’, ‘Rise Again’) and Andraé Crouch (‘Jesus Is The Answer’, with added references to Jehovah’s Witnesses, Moonies, Ouija boards, yoga, marijuana, Edgar Cayce, etc). Guitar solos can be detected in a couple spots. Stand-out track is ‘Little Grain Of Wheat’, a delicate acoustic ballad with lovely female vocals. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).
